The best restaurants in North East

A loverly tea to celebrate the in laws 60th wedding anniversary. All a good place to drop in for coffee and cake.

We came to this little cafe in the heart of Britain as we had heard the food was delightful and the village was lovely. 100% accurate on both counts. Chef Carlos has a great imagination and it shows in the special sandwiches and desserts served. The sandwich I had was a chicken, ham, and avocado with garlic mayo on toasted white bread. My wife had the butternut squash falafel wrap with whipped feta and pickled beets. Chef's lovely wife Nicole extends charm and grace taking orders and dishing friendly conversation. We finished our meal with a slice of lemon icebox pie with a crust of ground digestives. It was light and delicate with a delicious taste. We walked around the village loving the smiles and friendly greetings of the village folk. Walking along the banks of the Tyne is beautiful and we visited the sites of Vindolanda and the Roman Army Fort along Hadrian's Wall. The museums are well curated and the sense of historical awe was powerful. This visit was a highlight of our trip to England from California.

Fantastic 5* service from Shane with Mean Bean Coffee Company. Drinks and food were amazing - everyone loved them. Really looking forward to working with him again for our future events!

Was here this morning only had a porridge with Nutella but it was lovely and very filling will definitely go back for lunch as they have a lovely selection of salad and chicken all flavours

Since it is half term i thought id treat the kids to a nice little cafe breakfast. The girls are really friendly, the cafe is clean and the choice of food on menu is perfect. It is all freshly cooked while you wait, the kids LOVED the little toy corner - the dolls house, kitchen and blackboard are a really nice touch and it kept the kids entertained while they waited. The wait was small, the kids really enjoyed their milshake and my breakfast was lovely. A really reasonable bill, fantastic and really kind service. We will be back after such a wonderful experience

A little hidden gem of an Asian Bakery, near Northumbria University 🥐 There is probably only 1 or 2 tables for dining in - which makes the experience even more exquisite. It was my very first time here - I remember my cousin recommending me this bakery, saying that this was perhaps one of the best. It's not located in Chinatown - just a little walk away from Northumbria University, and you come across this hidden gem. The baked goods sold are DELICIOUS. All freshly baked, and sold there and then. Green tea with egg yolk paste pastries, various cakes, swiss rolls of different varieties. I tried a few of them, and enjoyed all of it thoroughly. If you love Asian Pastries, this will certainly be a highlight.

Visitedtoday to celebrate my dads 90th birthday had afternoon tea.It was delicious even had enough to take home enjoyed by us all staff very friendly and a nice touch they even had put birthday sprinkles on the table. Well worth a visit its my 2nd time there and certsinly not be my last .

Wow what a fantastic breakfast. Produce lovely. Cooked to perfection. Thankyou. Will certainly be back. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Me and my partner tried today the Bun Kim and Bun Brisket (I believe this one was called like this!) burgers and it was absolutely delicious! Honestly we knew them from very tasty pizzas but the burgers are a different class! 😍

This cafe is like a community Centre at times, with the owners helping their clients with many personal issues. The most important thing most people will be interested in is the food and I can say its great! You will not be disappointed visiting here

What a fantastic place! Came here for lunch - a great range of veggie and vegan dishes, very tasty with friendly service in a pretty little cafe. Highly recommended. Couldn’t fault anything!

food is superb and always consistent the desserts are well worth a try, great value for money compared to other takeaways

We went for our usual coffee and toastie today to find that the shop is closing, I can't believe it, the boys have worked so hard to make a thriving busines, loved by many. So sad to see it it go, they will be sorely missed, We wish them all the best going forward, all my best, so sorry we could'nt have said goodbye in person from Marilyn and Bill ( the cancer treatment lady and her husband ) xxxx

I have both eaten here and just popped in for a latte . The staff and service are faultless and it is one of my favourite places to visit. Don’t be afraid of going on your own as the staff and the customers are very welcoming and friendly. The food is of the highest standard and the home baking is particularly tasty ,great value for money and a must to visit

Lovely little cafe with very friendly staff. Didnt see vegetarian option on menu but when asked abt veggie breakfast they were very accommodating! It was lovely. Wld call again when in area!
